Jobbeschreibung

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Training Network COMBINE brings together 17 academic institutions and 14 industrial partners across Europe. The network addresses key challenges in fluid structure interaction (FSI) relevant to energy, process, and materials engineering, with a strong focus on:

• Advanced numerical modelling and simulation
• Experimental methods and sensor technologies
• Data analysis of real-world monitoring data
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning for engineering applications

Researchers in COMBINE benefit from interdisciplinary, international,and inter-sectoral training, including secondments at leading academic and industrial partner institutions across Europe.

Project background

Project title: High resolution experimental measurements of vibrations in rods and rod bundles using ensemble average high-resolution gamma tomography measurements.

This project focuses on the development of advanced tomographic techniques to evalute vibrations in rod bundles. The research will leverage our in-house, state-of-the-art, high-resolution gamma tomography system.

Job description

• Construction of a setup with a single rod and a rod bundle
• Measurements of vibrating rod/rod-bundle using our in-house gamma-tomography system
• AI-assisted reconstruction and imaging of vibrating rods/bundles using sensors and tomography data
• Use of machine-learning for noise reduction and data enhancement

Profile
